Lagan's provide respite care for families

Respite care provides families with the opportunity to take a much needed break from caring for a loved one. Caring for a child with complex care needs is challenging – we believe that families often need time away to rest and recharge.

We have specific needs training and can support families with medication, trips out and overnight stays.

Defibrillators For Families Project

There are many families across the UK with children that rely on having a permanent, life saving defibrillator at home to ensure that they are safe from the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.

The Defibrillators for Families Project run by Lagan’s is a crucial scheme for families in need of this equipment, allowing them to loan the defibrillator whilst they raise the funds needed over a 6 month period.

Testimonials

Invaluable service and charity. They were there for us during one of the hardest times of our lives. They made the anxiety, stress and worry almost tolerable, we didn't feel that we were alone. We can't say THANK YOU enough.
April, my daughter, was born with pulmonary atresia and small right ventricle along with other health problems. I have struggled at home by myself for a year and was finding it hard to keep on top of simple housekeeping. Lagans foundation have gave my a lovely volunteer who keeps April entertained while I get on with jobs around the house. This has saved my sanity.
Lagan's came into our lives in 2013 and continue to help me with managing feeding and care as well as giving me precious time for other things. Not to mention reducing my sense of isolation by giving me something/someone to look forward to every week. Thank you Lagan's X
I had home support this morning. Ruth is so good with Olivia she defo likes her snuggles and it was great to have someone to talk to and get all the housework done I feel loads better :) Thank you xxxx
Both me and Leo are very grateful for the yearly zoo trip where he gets to enjoy a full day out with other children like him safe with his carer, and I am grateful for a day that I am able to dedicate to his sibling’s needs.
💓Id like to share my gratitude and appreciation for such devoted and committed care, displayed to my twin daughters. The regular carers who help to support the girls always go above and beyond to ensure that they have the most amazing time within the community. The level of care is second to non and I am forever praising the staff for their competencies. The children always return home happy and fulfilled, with lots of positive feedback. Thank you Claire Rachael and Wendy for bringing out the best in my girls.💓
